Chicago Bound
 

I'll be in Chicago (Addison) on Sunday evening (Aug. 4th) picking up my car, any of my FBI buds want to get a beer and some grub before I blow town?

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Robert,

I'd be up for that.

Re: Chicago Bound
 

I'm bringing and LT5 shortblock to Pete. Might as well be on Sunday. I'll try to make it, Bob! (Any reason to tip a "few"!)

Details....... We need Details.

How that 368? running

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Are we meeting at Home Run? I asked Pete. He may come depending.
Can we get Al and Bob? How about Ken and Kevin?

Re: Chicago Bound
 

I don't know the area at all so if you locals can suggest somewhere easy to find from Marc's that would be great. Tell Pete to put on his depends and come out ;)

Re: Chicago Bound

Re: Chicago Bound
 

How did your Z get to Addison? What did you have done (I am assuming Marc Haibeck)? So...............you driving the Z back to OR?

Concur ;)

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Hey, Robert! If you have an idea of when, I'll get on the "TOM-TOM" and get the word out. A Pizza night is past due for this group anyway.

Sunday night is a "school night", so I expect the gang will be tea-sippers, nobody being carried out, no traditional Fast n Sexy girls this time (unless Pete puts on that hot pink tu-tu again), but pizza at Home Run Inn would be about 10 minutes from Marc's.

Should we call an "emergency meeting" at Home Run Pizza????:dancing

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Wish I could make it', but I am currently in the Black Hills, SD on my way to Wyoming

Re: Chicago Bound

Re: Chicago Bound
 

What!?!? No fast n sexy girls :.(

Sorry Cliff, I'll save the details for another thread, it's nothing too exciting - no stroker cranks or anything like that.

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Well that's too bad, I shall be headed that general direction myself, probably going to stick to I90 most of the way.

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Playing with MapQuest.... what is the best way to get to Sioux Falls from Addison? Are the toll roads worth it or should I avoid them?

Re: Chicago Bound

Total Miles and Hours......

In current traffic: 8 hours 15 mins

I-90 W

Once at Sioux Falls...stay on I-90 west....all the way to Rapid City. Stop at Wall Drug on the way. I think speed limit is 75 mph all the way with light traffic.

Once near Rapid City....take exit 57 to Highway 16 off to left and get a picture of that Z with Mount Rushmore in background ;)
It is only a few miles to Mount Rushmore off of I-90.

http://www.mountrushmoreinfo.com/ima...ore-map300.gif

The most direct route by car is via Interstate - 90, exiting on exit 57 to Highway 16 (also called mount Rushmore Road) which goes directly Keystone. From Keystone take Highway 244 to the Mount Rushmore Memorial entrance. From Rapid City, go southwest on Highway 16 for 23 miles. You can get free state highway maps from the South Dakota Department of Tourism by calling (605) 773-3301 or (800) 732-5682

Re: Chicago Bound
 

It's a DATE! The word is out!!! LOCOBOB is visitin' da FBI (like we needed a celebrity as an excuse to party!:p

I need to drop a block off at Pete's around 5pm, and pick up a radiator, and we'll head over to the HRI for pizza, brews, BS, and good fun.

Y'all come if ya can.

:cheers:

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Well that depends on what you are looking to do. If you want to get somewhere fast, take the toll road. Rt. 20 OTOH will take you to Rockford but more picturesque and twisty.

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Keep in mind the Sturgis Bikers will be out in full swing Aug 5th - August 11th with many returning on I-90 (east and west) around August 11th.

Sturgis is just a few miles North on I-90 from Rapid City (top of map).

Re: Chicago Bound
 

They already are..saw a bunch yesterday..

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Hey can't wait to see you guys, should be a lot of fun.

Hmmm, hadn't dawned on me that Sturgis was going on, that might make for some ugly traffic.

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Oh yeah I-90 from Elgin to Rockford is under construction.. 45 mph limit. I saw at least 2 motorcycle cops on my way out on Thursday.

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Not really slowing traffic......just cruising at 70 mph with all types of motorcycles around you.
Kind of fun to see motorcycles that you never dreemed existed ;)

Re: Chicago Bound
 

LB,

Pete usually plays that role for visiting dignitaries such as you.
He never leaves home without his KY.

Re: Chicago Bound
 

And his girl friend :D

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Robert..........You have a great/safe trip back to OR :cheers:

I am sure if Marc has looked your Z over you could probably make that trip many times without any issues :thumbsup:

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Aw, hell... Nuttin' like a string of 35-45 mph "BUB-BUBS" (aka "Southpark's" name for Harley drivers :rolleyes:) to mess up some serious canyon carving!! (Ain't that raht, Dom n Jimmac!?)

P.

Re: Chicago Bound

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Wall Drug only 543mi ahead......
How come you didn't get a shot like this one with possibly our country's most enduring monument?

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Eat your ice cream......it's melting !

Re: Chicago Bound
 

NOT in the car!

Re: Chicago Bound
 

No ice cream in the car haha. I did take a few pics at Rushmore but none with the car, guess I didn't find Scott's secret photo spot.

Re: Chicago Bound
 

Scott did take a very nice photo with Mount Rushmore in background and I will look for that spot myself. But I really really like you and the strawberry ice creme cone melting...you look cool :handshak:

I assume your Z is running perfectly with natural SD 70 deg clean air and windows open....and maybe some country music on that Bose :thumbsup:
